Yup. I don't normally watch practices, but there were no Oly events running live at the time, so I tuned in. Geeezz, really??? I was expecting to at least see other couples when their music was playing.

Is he the only one there?

Well, they switched over to the practice rink and I didn't keep it on long enough to know if he's the only one in his warm-up group that showed up or not. Going to watch some speed skating for a little while before the FD starts.
 
Yes, Andrew was the only one on his practice session. They are now showing the next session on the practice rink and focusing on Yuma even though there are a couple other skaters on the ice.
 
I can’t tell if Deanna is out there or not, but this is their session because I heard them announce her name, and RAN into the room!
 
Turned on the practice stream to Emily & Spencer, so I rewound to watch their SP runthrough - great SBS and perfect throw for her - I hope they can replicate this on Sunday!

ETA - KamO weren't here for this practice - I'm guessing they've gone to Bergamo or are just taking the day off.

No need to fret - Naumov did land a few things at this second practice (Jackie Wong’s notes from Max’s morning practice in the main arena showed him landing several 4S: https://www.rockerskating.com/news/2026/2/1/2026-winter-olympics-practice-notes; Jackie did not cover this practice because he needed to go rest).

MaximCam in practice rink with Vladimir Petrenko (after his FS run through that I could not rewind to watch after the fact): 1S awkward pop, 2A to 2A to 2A, 2S, 2S, 3S, 4S skidded off landing edge/fell & slid. 3A step out/foot down, 2A, 1A, 1A (shakes head), 3A quick step/fell out. Good 3A to 2A, 2Lz, 3Lz+3T, 3F, 2A to camel spin change camel, 2F into flying spin. Footwork/traveling 3turns into spin. Speaks with Benoit Richaud by boards. Cool down stroking.

It's great that we have been able to watch the practice sessions.

I don't understand why the one camera has to follow one skater/team the entire session. The plan seems to be: Follow the American only. And if there is no American, stay on the top ranked skater and ignore the rest.

They aren’t even showing the ice now and I know Kao is skating as that’s his music.

They did practice and there are updates in the thread "out there" about her injury.

I know, it's so aggravating! The other day Olivia and Tim's Dune music was playing, they were doing a runthrough... what did the camera show? C/B, doing couples social skating...
 
My belated comments re. Wednesday, Feb. 11 in practice rink:

I really enjoyed watching AndrewCam on Wednesday - near the end of the session he decided to have some fun with reverse double jumps :):

I also saw Yuma "popping" loop jumps before he suddenly landed a beautiful 4Lo :eek: (as well as a 4F and then skating right into a 4T+1Eu+3S) - clips of the 4F & 4Lo:

I saw SO many Men's practice clips shared on X yesterday because it was open to the public - Polina Edmunds posted some good clips, for example. ETA: I was going to post a fan cam link to Yuma's 4-min. run through with the audience cheering like mad but it looks like it's been taken down due to copyright. :(

Men's FS Warm-Up (final 2 groups) is scheduled for 10:45 am Eastern time on Peacock.

@hermajesty anything you'd like to report?

I just noticed that Peacock again has a separate Training Livestream showing the practice rink. Saw Olga Mikutina on the ice earlier.
ETA: When I rewound this livestream as far as I could I saw Ellie and Danny warming up or cooling down off ice and Andrew warming up for his practice.
 
Rewound the Men's Warm-Up to watch YumaCam - he landed a really high 3A to 2A, 3F+2Lo off balance/fall, got up smiling and then did 3F+3Lo just fine.

ETA Yuma's RT: 4S so smooth, marked his planned 4F (did a single), 4T+1Eu+3S good, [marked A/T acc. to Jackie], 3F+3Lo (foot down behind), spreadeagle into high 3A, beautifully arched Ina Bauer ... performed final glorious footwork sequence and spin.

I rewound to Deanna/Max's FS partial run through - she landed 3T+2A+2A at the beginning and a throw 3S with lovely flow out later! She and Max took a selfie at center ice before they left. :)
